When he opened his eyes he knew from the position of the sun that it was late in the afternoon. Sleep had given him new vigor; a

sharp hunger was picking at him. He looked about him, almost cheerfully.

Answer:

The excerpt tells readers that hunger was tormenting Rainsford by picking at him, like a person might. This use of personification helps to show readers the intensity of Rainsford’s hunger. It also highlights the internal conflict between his hunger and his desire for adventure. We know that he swam for a long time and fell into a deep slumber. He’s now starving but also feeling invigorated. As the story says, “He looks about him, almost cheerfully.” He even gets around and examines the place and finds signs of a struggle that had happened in the vicinity. His intense hunger is in conflict with his urge for adventure. Yet he retains the ability to think clearly and logically: “Where there are pistol shots, there are men. Where there are men, there is food.” Food becomes his priority over adventure, and he sets off to find food, eventually reaching Zaroff’s chateau.

hope this helps

Marysya12 [62]
Well Assistive technology is technology used by individuals with disabilities in order to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible for them to do. So I can only think of pros for such a thing. So listing some of the pro’s how how such technology could help a child or teen and how it could change their lives. Like socially helping someone to hear, or be able to
<span>communicate with others would be a major improvement to not just their social development but their mental one as well.</span>

Show me a essay on only daughter​
jenyasd209 [6]

Daughter is a female offspring- a girl, woman, or female animal in relation to her parents. Daughterhood is the state of being someone's daughter. The male counterpart is a son. Analogously the name is used in several areas to show relations between groups or elements. The word daughter also has several other connotations attached to it, one of these being used in reference to female descendancy or consanguinity. It can also be used as a term of endearment coming from an elder.

In patriarchal societies, daughters often have different or lesser familial rights than sons. A family may prefer to have sons rather than daughters and subject daughters to female infanticide.[1] In some societies it is the custom for a daughter to be 'sold' to her husband, who must pay a bride price. The reverse of this custom, where the parents pay the husband a sum of money to compensate for the financial burden of the woman, is found in societies where women do not labour outside the home, and is referred to as dowry.
